History Recap / DuckTales2017S1E3TheGreatDimeChase

* UnsatisfiableCustomer: In the "Ottoman Empire" show Glomgold is a guest in, he tells the hosts that they cannot expect him to use something that doesn't has his face on it. A few scenes later, we hear him again complaining that the hosts expect him to put his feet where his face is printed on.

* ShoutOut: The way Louie shouts out "No-no-no-mineminemine!" while chasing the dime into the Money Bin sounds an awful lot like WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck from the Creator/WarnerBrothers cartoon "Ali Baba Bunny" (specifically the scene where he's trying to stuff the genie back in the lamp, mistaking him for a competitor to the wealth he and Bugs found).

* ScreamingWarrior: Quackfester yells loudly while chasing Dewey and Webby with a sword. Justified, as she most likely tries to scare them rather than actually hurt them.

* RunningGag: Louie has to keep [[IncrediblyLamePun running up and down]] all 57 flights of stairs in the Money Bin.

* NotImportantToThisEpisodeCamp: Donald, Huey, and Mrs. Beakley don't appear, but they are mentioned.

* AbsenteeActor:
** Donald, Mrs. Beakley, and Huey are not seen at all in this episode though they are mentioned.
** Oddly, Danny Pudi is still credited as Huey in the end titles, yet Beck Bennet is not credited as Launchpad who has a few lines in the episode.

** In the comics, Donald and Gladstone Gander (DependingOnTheWriter[[note]]Comics sympathetic to Donald and/or Scrooge often cast the former as lazy/unlucky and the latter as disappointed/smug/self-righteous depending on the dynamic they wanted. This goes back to Creator/CarlBarks' works where earlier comics had an unsympathetic Scrooge and a sympathetic Donald, and then switched over later on[[/note]]) were always the recipients of Scrooge's lectures/lessons on the virtues of hard work and the evils of laziness; Scrooge and the triplets (including Louie) were always on the same page as far as their work ethic, with Scrooge often observing how he and they were NotSoDifferent. The show has chosen to give the triplets different personalities and attitudes, and also a separate dynamic with Scrooge to set them apart, has a very reluctant Louie as the one Scrooge has to push and motivate to ambition, action, and independence.

* DefiniteArticleTitle: The first of many episodes with this format.

--> '''Scrooge:''' Ye can'eh get rid of the bin! You may think they're crackpots and weirdos, but they're the ones who push innovation and creativity, inspire this company ever forward!
--> ''(Marauding robot knocks down the door as Gyro clings to its back)''
--> '''Gyro:''' Just a little malfunction! Definitely not evil!
--> '''Scrooge:''' ''(Completely dropping the facade)'' Look, they're all mad as loons, and if you fire them, they're definitely going to seek '''revenge'''.

* FailedASpotCheck: This episode reveals that Scrooge has done everything he could to remove any evidence of Della. Apparently he forgot about the painting that Dewey fixed in the pilot.

* JerkassHasAPoint: The Board is quite cold about the employees in the money bin, but they ask Gyro point-blank if Little Bulb will go evil like his other inventions have. Gyro can only claim that half of this inventions have gone evil. And it ends up being a valid concern. Likewise they have a point that a number of Scrooge's expenses, including the Money Bin itself, don't serve any obvious practical purpose to justify the expense they involve. All a rather hilarious lampshade on how Scrooge isn't near as cheap as he claims to be.

* TheTheTitle: The first of many episodes with this format.

** In the Carl Barks comics and in his single appearance on the 1987 series, Little Bulb was everything Gyro claimed: helpful, obedient, and useful, practically Gyro's {{Familiar}}. [[AIIsACrapshoot Not so much here]], [[spoiler: at least until Gyro realises he used a bulb that had more wattage than intended]].

** In the Carl Barks comics and in his single appearance on the 1987 series, Little Bulb was everything Gyro claimed: helpful, obedient, and useful, practically Gyro's {{Familiar}}. [[AIIsACrapshoot Not so much here.]]

** Scrooge admits he keeps the Board of Directors around because they're the only people he knows that are "cheaper than [him]". Just after admitting this, the Board starts to discuss how ridiculously expensive the magical defenses for the Money Bin are. After Scrooge's refusal to relent, they decide to consider firing Money Bin workers, and perhaps even get rid of the Money Bin ''itself'' due to it seeming to serve no practical purpose. Downplayed in that they're only doing their jobs, and they relent after Scrooge points out that getting rid of the Money Bin and its workers would likely result in them trying to get even.

* GoLookAtTheDistraction: When Little Bulb chases Louie into the library, Louie managed to distract its attention by telling it, "Look, a distraction!", which it completely fell for it and Louie is able to escape from it.

* LookBehindYou:

** Donald, Mrs. Beakley, and Huey are not seen at all in this episode.

%%* SeriousBusiness: Miss Quackfaster considers the Archives to be very serious indeed.

* UnimpressiveProgressReveal: The first time Louie goes up the aforementioned AbsurdlyLongStairway, after a brief montage of struggling, sweating, and panting, he reaches...the second floor.

* BigNo: Louie when he spends the dime Scrooge gave him as a reward on another soda.

* AbsenteeActor: Donald, Mrs. Beakley, and Huey are not seen at all in this episode.
